Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

POKÉMON: Detective Pikachu Official Movie Trailer Impressions
POKÉMON Detective Pikachu Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the POKÉMON: Detective Pikachu official movie trailer? Well, it looks great as most of us have in mind here. This is really the first time that we see a live action adaptation of Pokemon so there isn't nothing really to compare to. We have reach a point in movie history and reality that CGI seems to blend so well with reality and from what we saw from the first Detective Pikachu 2019 film trailer, I am impressed and I am someone who grew up playing the Pokemon series. I was started with Pokemon Yellow version for the original Nintendo Gameboy.





The official press release from the official movie trailer summarize what we saw in it. Shows a little highlights here and there but not enough to ruin the entire film. Given that this is a detective slash mystery film, they ought to keep those elements closely hidden and hopefully doesn't follow the Detective Pikachu Nintnedo 3DS storyline down to a tee. Well, I played (but haven't finished) Detective Pikachu for the 3DS but I can say that it deviated a bit given that the game's protagonist on the game was a young teen while on this one is someone on his later teen or early adulthood. How they also met is much different, so with that hopefully we can be assured that we won't be seeing a carbon copy of the game. Of course, let's address the elephant in the room... Detective Pikachu is adorable! And is voiced by none other than Deadpool slash Green Lantern (don't crucify me for the reference) himself, Ryan Reynolds. Did you know that there was once an an initial strong clamor to let Danny Devito voice Detective Pikachu in both the 3DS game of the same title and later in the movie, but what we get is something similarly cool. Deadpool as the voice of Pikachu. Plus all the CGI goodness and adventure galore, this is shaping up to be a good Hollywood adaptation of a source material originating from Japan which we haven't seen like forever.

Deadpool Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Deadpool redband trailer? Well, what isn't there to say about the Deadpool redband trailer but it captures the essence of Deadpool or whatever that means. 20th Century Fox make amends from the Deadpool travesty that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine with a more loyal to its source material, the fourth wall breaking foul-mouthed Merc with the mouth. It is a treat to see the story of the well-beloved pop culture character and icon finally realized and properly given justice to. With Ryan Reynolds being a big Deadpool fan himself and the film opting out for a more Mature rating than a PG film. If a Deadpool film want to be taken seriously, it can never be rated under the PG rating.


The trailer which initially debuted in TBS' Conan (Check out the clip here) has gore, violence, and uncensored language that easily alarmed and conservative parents would never let their children watch. But for those who fell in love with the character, whether those who are big comic book fans or just like me who happens to stumble over the character of Deadpool a few years back, this film with its casting and overall feel is looking good for this 2016 Marvel - 20th Century Fox film. This trailer is already enough to build the hype when Deadpool comes to theaters by February 2016 and I'll definitely see it.

Safe House Trailer Impressions: A High Octane Espionage Action Film Starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds

Safe House is an action film slated for a February 2012 release starring "The" Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. That first statement is already enough to reel you in and watch what Safe House is All about. Let's all sink our teeth on it now shall we?



Safe House
Plot and Synopsis

Washington plays the most dangerous renegade from the CIA, who comes back onto the grid after a decade on the run. When the South African safe house he's remanded to is attacked by mercenaries, a rookie operative (Reynolds) escapes with him. Now, the unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.

For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A "housekeeper" who aspires to be a full-fledged agent, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When the first and only occupant he's had proves to be the most dangerous man he's ever met, Weston readies for duty.

Tobin Frost has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA's known, the ex-intelligence officer has given up assets and sold military intel to anyone with cash since he turned. From trading secrets to North Korea to aiding splinter cells, the damage he's done to the U.S. is immeasurable. And he's now back on the reservation with a secret.

As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston's safe house. Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way. Now it's up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they're both eliminated from the game.

Safe House Trailer Review

It has been a while since we've last seen Denzel Washington do what he does best, superb acting on an action film. After two years, he is finally back with a new espionage film together with a more contemporary actor Ryan Reynolds. This might be another espionage themed film but what will probably make film fans excited is the Denzel-Ryan team up.



Well for the trailer I say it summarizes the entire film in it. Most cases I consider it to be a big taboo but this is an exception to action films. What attracts action film fans are the car chases, fighting sequences, and the conspiracy and the plot of who is behind it all. Seeing both great actors sharing the same screen is already a fans dream come true, but besides that what makes this a promising film is the superb acting and the interesting plot. What will happen to Reynolds character who finally gets what he wished for with so many things added to the mix? What is this secret that Denzel's character know that made him surrender after years of hiding? That is what the general hype that this film is cashing on and it works. This is definitely on my list of the most anticipated film for 2012.
